His performance shines even brighter at home, where he's averaged 12.4 points against Charlotte, coupled with a solid 4.4 rebounds.In fact, he's hit this prop in all seven of his last games, and if you narrow that down to his home performances, he's a perfect 3-for-3.

Given that the Hornets struggle defensively, particularly against the perimeter, it's a perfect setup for him to not just reach but exceed the 9.5 mark comfortably. Grab that over and watch Hauser shine!
